If you have already visited the GEORGE link above you will have followed
the process by which I was transformed from Computer Man to Writer of Songs
& International Megastar (in my dreams!) in a mere 6-7 years.

At the same time Vicki Swan and Jonny Dyer were taking the folk world by
storm in their own right, "establishing themselves as one of the best
duos around on the folk scene today" (Famous Willows Folk Club). Vicki
& Jonny effortlessly blend traditional material with contemporary interpretations
whilst equally creating original self penned tunes and songs that are entirely
at home in the tradition. Out of this combination they have developed a
sound that is both familiar and fresh. Strong believers in letting the
music tradition live and breathe through sensitive interpretation, Vicki
and Jonny allow the melody to sing without any constraints. With seven
albums to their name and an increasingly frantic gig schedule, their outstanding
technical ability across a range of diverse instruments (Vicki: Scottish
smallpipes, Swedish nyckelharpa, double bass, whistle - Jonny: guitar,
accordion, keyboards) and their warm unassuming vocals have resulted in
many collaboration opportunities.

It was not surprising therefore that , being an admirer of Vicki &
Jonny's music, I asked them to provide the main backing for my last two
albums and having done so, we exploited every opportunity to play and sing
together in each other's sets at festivals. The result was inevitable -
I started to write songs that required three voices, or keyboards, or nyckelharpa
to do them justice. And when I asked them to assume the mantle of my hitherto
itinerant "Los Marbles" they happily agreed and from 2009 we
have performed as such at a number of UK festivals, from Sidmouth to Fylde
and the Australian National FF in Canberra, from Banbury to Bedworth and
Chippenham.

With the Los Marbles we provide a much more extensive repertoire than I
can ever do on my own, performing a number of songs that require the fuller
sound of the trio but also several of my "hits" with a fuller
backing, and interspersing them with Vicki's and Jonny's own hit tunes
and songs, adding more dimensions and variety to the performance that can
keep an audience on their toes - literally - or singing along for hours.

In addition at festivals George, Vicki & Jonny offer a number of 1-2 hour workshops: .

For festivals George & his Los Marbles afford the unique opportunity
of being able to provide three distinct acts on their programme:

- George Papavgeris (solo) doing his own songs in his friendly living-room style
- Vicki Swan & Jonny Dyer playing their mixture of traditional and self penned tunes & songs
- George & his Los Marbles playing those of George's songs that benefit from the bigger sound, peppered
with some of Vicki & Jonny's songs/tunes.
